Description
About the Book
Ideal for Linux system administrators who want to learn about the software and methodology to automate repetitive tasks--regardless of network or datacenter size--in one place, this book offers readers a thorough grasp of cfengine, kickstart, and shell scripting for automation.Book Synopsis
This book is about automating tasks that any network administrator would otherwise have to manually perform. Automation increases the efficiency of a network because it reduces the number of errors that repetitive manual input is likely to produce, and at the same time reduces the number of personnel required to manually perform tasks.
Review Quotes
From the reviews:
"While automating a system is the dream of all sysadmins, there is such a thing as too much automation. Thankfully, this book recognises it. It covers just everything a sysadmin needs to know ... . If you're a sysadmin - get this book, you won't be sorry. Highly recommended." (Paul F. Johnson, CVU/ ACCU/ Reviews, February, 2004)
